The last two world wars were not based on religion or spirituality. In fact, the majority of wars - of human murdering humans in the last century have not been based on spiritual disagreements. There have a been a few of course, but the largest wars had nothing to do with spirituality - but more about resource exploitation and ownership.

I guess what I'm trying to point out here is - there can easily be an over-emphasis on the evils of deism (for whatever reason you may have) and I believe one needs to look at the psychological underpinnings - which go beyond particular spiritual/theological beliefs. Secularists are just as capable of immoral acts as deists.

I realize this is a bit of a bone of contention for you since you've brought up the evils of theism a number of times now. And I am certainly not blind to it. But is theism the core of all human evils? No, I would not agree with you. I think the real evil may lie in the lack of self-understanding and self-constraint of the Shadow aspects of our human nature - which is not spiritual, but psychological in nature. What "transcendent" realities someone may believe in - including believing Newtonian Materialism is the only reality - which clearly is no longer the case since Heisenberg et al. - is not particularly important.
